This cumulative update includes all patches since the Service Pack 1 release, but not the Service Pack 1 itself. You must install the Service Pack 1 before installing this cumulative update. Read how-to install Service Pack 1.
Because of the file size the cumulative update package has been divided in three parts; ubersrv.exe, ubersrv_1.cab and ubersrv_2.cab. You have to put them all in the same folder.

This CU solves the following issue:
The March 2017 CU prevents opening Word documents in Office Web Apps Server if the site where the document is stored contains spaces in its name.

Run the extracted EXE file as administrator.

Accept the license terms and click “Continue”.

Repeat the previous two steps for the other EXE files in this folder.

Apply the updates to each SharePoint server in the farm.

As soon as the installation of the cumulative update has finished on all servers, run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard successively on each SharePoint server in the farm. This step is required if your farm level is lower than July 2015 CU.
